Chaplain Survey:
Introduction
Thank you for agreeing to participate in this survey conducted by TNS Australia on behalf of the Commonwealth Department of Education and Training.
Before you begin:
This survey captures your views of the National School Chaplaincy Programme (NSCP). The NSCP began in 2015 and replaced the previous National School Chaplaincy Welfare Programme (NSCWP) which ran from 2012-2014. The NSCWP is not being evaluated; we are only interested in your experience with the NSCP. For the purposes of this survey we are only interested in Chaplains engaged under NSCP funding. Your responses are very important and will be used in the NSCP evaluation and to inform future direction.
